Developing a custom CSS theme

Building a CSS theme from scratch requires knowledge of web design, HTML, and CSS. If you want to design your store on your own, we suggest creating your own CSS theme. This set of CSS codes gives you control over every visual element in your store including shape, size, color, and format.

Changing the design with Javascript API

If you are a developer and want to improve Ecwid’s storefront, you can build a completely new CSS theme just for your store and promote it as an app on the Ecwid App Market. The Ecwid Javascript API allows you to integrate with Ecwid on a deeper level. It provides access to events (page changed, cart changed), entities (product, cart, order) and others.

To get access to the Ecwid Javascript API, please register as a developer on our Developer Portal.
